1. Baylor upsets Notre Dame in a thrilling women’s NCAA Championship game – 82-81. Notre Dame rallied from a 14-point deficit to tie the game with seconds remaining. Chloe Jackson made a layup to put Baylor up by two points, but then the Bears fouled last year’s tournament hero Arike Ogunbowale with 1.9 seconds left in the game. She missed the first freethrow, and then tried to miss the second, but made it and time expired with the ball in the Bears’ possession.
OF NOTE: The five Notre Dame starters combined for 10,230 career points, the most in Division I history — women’s or men’s.
